James in the middle and Kante out wide in possession again

How is this still 1-0.

Need the second. Performance has dropped off since the goal

Barkley showing so much more than Ziyech, has to be said

The 2018 one. Yep. equally bad

was at home I think. De Bruyne winner. Reminds exactly of that.

This is Conte vs City 2017 level cowardice at home by Ole.

More than Barkley, wonder if Kante is needed today ?

Useless. United haven't bothered again

This team hasn't challenged in the league for 4 years. A gap means more psychologically for us than City or Liverpool

Last season worked out beautifully. PSG eliminated Bayern, City eliminated PSG. They were the 3 toughest teams and they were in the same half of the draw.

Solid game. Boring watch. Hope Zenit can get something at Juve later.

Ha. Good to see him back

Finally. Super cross by CHO

How is that a goal kick?

Yep, this keeper is dodgy as hell

We need our best attackers - Chilwell and James

Well, that was a dreadful 45 mins. Controlling the game but nothing popping in attack

This crowd is intense!

He needs something to tide over a year/18 months before the City job, PSG job, Real (again?) becomes available I guess. I'm not overly worried about this given just how bad Spurs have become. Its a major repair job and Conte is not the best manager for it either. This is only going to end one way

Would skip the loan for Billy and bring him back. He cant get into the Norwich XI partly because Daniel Farke is trying to play it safe and go with experienced players after a run of losses. But he's starting regularly for Scotland and has been playing well under Steve Clarke. I'd replace Saul with him, give him gametime like Callum, RLC are getting this year and let him develop at the club itself. Next season - with the contract/age situations of Kova/Kante/Jorgi, the club needs to start planning the future midfield. Another bid for Declan Rice is inevitable but not sure if that is going to happen. Even if it doesn't, Gilmour is a great talent to develop for the future.

Yes ideally replaces Ziyech in squad. We can even sell another winger like Pulisic and target someone like Raphinha who has a bit more unpredictability

The same thinking led to another loan for Gallagher. We can see the potential is there. Its time to throw him in next season I feel

I see Gallagher as one of the two no 10s. Billy in the pivot.

Gilmour and Gallagher both look like good additions to the midfield next year. Saul obviously goes back and we sell Barkley
